Bills’ Ed Oliver says he felt ‘violated’ and ‘guilty until proven innocent’ after arrest

‘Speaking with the media for the first time since the incident, Oliver said he’s not sure why he was arrested with nothing in his system after taking a field sobriety test. He said he blew .00%, but that the officer involved told Oliver, “I still think you’re intoxicated.” Oliver said he attempted to explain that he was “just tired,” but that the officer either “wasn’t understanding” what the player was saying or “didn’t want to understand” and proceeded with the arrest.’

John Brown wowed by Bills rookies, excited about Brian Daboll’s scheming

‘“I’m real excited,” Brown said on a Zoom call with reporters. “I’ve never been this excited, especially the way Coach Daboll has put things together. We have so much that makes everything right in trying to confuse defenses. It confuses me sometimes. I’m so excited about that because it’s like it’s enough for everyone to eat.”’

Bills’ Jerry Hughes uses leadership skill to push get-out-the-vote effort

‘“Voting has always been important to me,” Hughes said Monday on a conference call with reporters. “We learned as kids from our parents how our great-grandparents fought and died for that opportunity for us – to have that American liberty, that American freedom.”’

Ed Oliver says being a Black man very well could have been why he was arrested

‘“Well, I’m not sure, but to be honest in Montgomery County, they have a no-refusal law so you can’t tell them, ‘No I don’t want to go to jail,’” he said. “That’s how it was explained to me so I don’t know. Maybe so, but the law in Montgomery County, I would hope to believe that whatever color you are, you’re going to jail. I was on the way to my house and not expecting to be arrested. You never know, you can be doing anything and life could just hit you.”’

Will the Twelfth Man at Buffalo Bills games prove to be expendable?

‘Oh, the Bills have flattered us, making much of the Twelfth Man, the thousands of pilgrims who come to the stadium and fervently believe they influence the play.’

When Bills’ Ed Oliver watched George Floyd’s death he thought: ‘That could have been me’

‘“You got to slow down. You gotta watch your surroundings and and try to keep yourself out of a situation like that, because like is real,” Oliver said. “Life come at you fast. I was on my way to the house and I didn’t expect to get arrested. You never know. You could be doing anything and life can just hit you. You just gotta be careful, bro. Life is precious.”’

Buffalo Bills’ John Brown on Brian Daboll’s ‘different swag,’ Stefon Diggs & how rookie WRs are best that he’s seen (6 things we learned)

‘“Oh, he’s been real comfortable,” Brown said on Daboll. “Man, you should see him walking about the building. It’s fun. He’s got a different swag to him now.”’

Bills’ Ed Oliver says he feels violated by unwarranted arrest

‘Oliver said he was “frustrated” when the arresting officer “wasn’t understanding” or “didn’t want to understand” that he was tired — not under the influence of any drugs that night. The experience also allowed him to reflect on just how volatile interactions with the police can be.’

Bills roster in-depth: Cornerback

‘Jackson was a seventh round pick of the team back in April. I really liked him when I saw him at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama in January. He just looked like he belonged on an NFL field. He was patient and didn’t overreact, and played solid man-to-man defense. The Bills play a lot of nickel packages, and injuries always seem to pop up, so he will certainly have a chance to make the team and have a role, especially since he can play both outside and inside.’

Bills DT Ed Oliver shares perspective gained following dropped DWI charges

‘”You get stripped down, you get put in a jumpsuit. My jumpsuit had like holes by your private parts and these slippers. I didn’t feel right. I feel like I shouldn’t be doing this. I didn’t work my life and walk the straight line my whole life to be put in this jumpsuit and taken to jail for what?”‘

Buffalo Bills alumni to donate 200 N95 masks

‘The masks were originally donated to the foundation, by the Aesthetic Associates Centre.’

Bills DT Ed Oliver says felt “violated” by his arrest in Houston

‘“I’m not sure how you get arrested with nothing in your system but honestly, I don’t know. I don’t know how I got arrested. That’s one of the things I say life can hit you quick like even if you’re innocent you can still go to jail for nothing,” Ed Oliver said on a zoom call with reporters.’

WR John Brown: “Teams will have to pick their poison” with Bills offense

‘“The plan is if they do decide to double him I do my job you know to open him up but he will draw a lot of attention and that can make me work to get the pressure off of him also,” John Brown said on a zoom call with reporters.’

John Brown has high praise for Bills rookie WRs Gabe Davis and Isaiah Hodgins

‘“Those two rookies, they’re the two best that I’ve seen so far since I’ve been in the league. Those guys know the playbook better than any of the veterans right now,” Brown said on a zoom call with reporters.’

Bills LB Matt Milano: “I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else”

‘“I’m not really focused on that right now, that’s the business side of things. I’m really focused on winning a championship here with the Bills, focusing on myself being the best version of myself that I can be so I’m gonna let that take care of itself and whenever it takes care of itself it’s the right number,” Milano said on a zoom call with reporters.’

‘Oliver was arrested 8 days before George Floyd’s murder, and he said after watching everything unfold following Floyd’s death, was something that changed his perspective on the situation.’

Ed Oliver: George Floyd could have been me

‘“He wasn’t understanding what I was saying or he didn’t want to understand,” Oliver said of the officer who arrested him. “One of those things in your life you gotta go through and get through it.”’

Bills WR John Brown on upcoming season: ‘I’ve never been this excited’

‘“I’m really excited. I’ve never been this excited before,” Brown says. “Especially the way that Coach Daboll has put things together, we have so much that makes everything right. We’re trying to confuse defenses, it confuses me sometimes. I’m so excited about that because it’s enough for everyone to eat.”’

Ed Oliver: ‘I felt like I was guilty and had to prove my innocence’

‘While the Bills second-year defensive tackle said he doesn’t think the color of his skin impacted his arrest, Oliver went on to say he thought of the murder of George Floyd at the Police’s hands.’

Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver on dropped DWI charges

‘”One of the things that kinda aggravated me was they entered me into the program for no reason — the drug abuse program or whatever. You get pulled over, your test results come back with nothing, they try to enter you into the program, and it’s kinda like, ‘Wow,'” Oliver said.’

6 things we learned from DT Ed Oliver and WR John Brown about Bills training camp

‘”I just learned that I was a resilient human,” Oliver said. “You go through stuff, and I just knew in the back of my mind that it wasn’t going to last forever, you just got to go through it. You can get through whatever. Another thing I learned about myself, just because you’re having a bad day or whatever, there’s always going to be a light at the end of the tunnel. My mom was telling me, ‘You live through 100% of your worst days. So your worst day, you have already been through that. There isn’t any reason to sit and ponder on that, you’ve already been through that.'”‘
